Titanic Brewery are a brewer based in Stoke on Trent that from humble beginnings has grown from a microbrewery to a plant that produces in excess of 2.3 million pints of ale a year and is running 7 pubs in the area. It is owned by brothers Keith and Dave Bott.
Titanic Brewery was founded in Burslem Stoke on Trent in 1985 as one of the first microbreweries to get up and running, with one goal, to produce great beer. The brewery is currently brewing 11 different beers at around 8,000 barrels a year and bottling the produce for supermarkets and outlets such as Morrisons and Waitrose. The brewery currently operates 7 pubs within which they sell the Titanic brew.
Titanic Brewery had been using existing Sage software when they decided to move forward with their approach to business. As a growing company, they required an IT system with more flexibility.
The brewery required a more sophisticated system in relation to the reporting of production and traceability of each Gyle produced at the brewery. With Merlin Brewery Software, Titanic was able to do this with ease when brewing, racking despatching, and cask returns.
Notably in a recent audit by Cask Marque, who are currently trialling audits within breweries, had said,
“The system is fantastic, the most traceable system I’ve seen in use at a brewery of your size, and is in fact probably ISO 9000 compliant”
Also, the Merlin routing module proved to be a real benefit to the brewery. The module made sure that the distribution vehicles are loaded in the most efficient way allowing accurate and economical delivery to the customers.
Allows breweries to have full visibility of where their casks are at any one point using wireless bar-coding and handheld technology.
